METS Staff

METS Staff come from all over Maine and the United States. Our interests are varied, and our backgrounds differ even more. When found together, we can often be found talking movies, playing golf, paddling, skiing, boating, and more.

Our common commitment is to education and to the youth of Maine. We believe that we can make a difference in the educational levels of those that don't always get a chance, and in doing so, we believe we can make a difference in lives led in Maine.
